It’s rare to watch a particular program and actually get something useful from it; perhaps the only ones I can commend the most are shows regarding agriculture and health, with Salamat Dok categorized on the latter. I have only watched a couple of episodes and each of them has useful everyday health information that is easily accessible by the common person, especially those who cannot afford to go and see a physician because of monetary restrictions. Thus far, I have seen and learned about significant infectious diseases and “diabetes” (obesity and diabetes) just by watching the said program; what’s also amazing is the fact that the show’s management tries its best to present medical and health information in the simplest of ways–something particularly challenging when faced with the fact that one must explain a particular disease to a person not normally exposed in the world of medicine.
To the professionals out there, or at least to those knowledgeable enough in this field, the explanations provided in Salamat Dok may perhaps be considered as simplistic or just an installment because of lack of detail, but I believe that it should suffice for the common Filipino at least to have an understanding about a particular disease or disorder that they might be debilitated with. And such might actually be the key in educating everybody about diseases that are commonly seen in patients in the Philippines. In addition to the explanations provided by medical professionals in the show, I also find their “health tidbits” and tips to be both fun and informative at the same time–viewers may also feel the same, as they are but concerned for their and their family’s well-being and health status. Another notable part of the show is its occasional free medical/dental missions for those seeking medical/dental help, as, what has been already said, not everyone has insurance nor the financial capability to support their medical needs.
I just hope that shows like this would expand even further, and that free medical help would become accessible as well to remote areas.
